Morning Smooties (often great for desert too!)

• These are the items I tend to use in smoothies... I don't use all of them every day of course, but like to mix things up and enjoy the different flavors.
   
• 1/2 to 1 scoop of Vega Whole Food Optimizer (Natural flavor, 1 scoop = 1 carb)
   
• 1/2 to 1 scoop Progressive Vegan Protein (Vanilla, 1 scoop = 3 carbs)
   
• 1/2 to 1 scoop of Vega Sport Protein (Vanilla, 1 scoop = 3 carbs)
   
• NOTE: I only use a total of 1 to 1 and 1/2 scoops of these three proteins
   
 
• 2-4 tablespoons of ground almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds (you can throw the whole seeds in first and grind some up before you add the rest)
   
• 2-3 tablespoons of shredded coconut
   
• 1-2 tablespoons of high fat cocoa (not "dutch" processed)
   
• Occasionally, unpasteurized Kefir (only 2-3 tablespoons)
   
• So important, lots of OILS:
  Vega's EFA oil
  MCT Oil
  Coconut Oil
  Borage Oil
  Chia Oil
  Walnut oil
  Progressive's Fish Oil (its amazing orange flavor is Nice in a smoothie)
  Udo's Oil
  (3-4 oils each day - somewhere between 4-6 tablespoons total)
   

For flavor: fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cocoa, vanilla, almond extract, etc (One at a time, or mixes, to taste)

Unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk (sometimes flavored (vanilla or chocolate), but I always use unsweetened) - use as much as needed for the texture you like

Sometimes I use less liquid, then add more Vega Whole Food Optimizer, and add whipping cream. With all those oils it comes out like ice cream. It's good. :D

I hope this helps!
